Beach Ice Plant and Bee...

While at Matarangi the other day I was taken with all the colour of the beach flowers and this iceplant was stunning and attracting alot of attention from the bee's ..

Love this shot with the bee dead centre-stage. I may be wrong, but I think that same plant is called pig-face here.

Wow...Such a gorgeous, bright image

That is a wonderful shot. Love the details and vibrant color.

@golftragic it is bigger than what i know as pigface the flower would be about 60cm..

The bee has its own natural vignette! One in a million shot! fav

@julzmaioro 60cm? Wowee, that's one heck of a flower.

[julia]

@golftragic whoops 60mm/6cm.. we have good growth on this side of the tazzy...

[Marnie]

@julzmaioro I had a sneaking feeling you were just trying to fool we Aussies. :) Mind you, a 60cm flower would be well worth a shot or three

[Marnie]

@julzmaioro I woulda been terrified of that bee too.
